Starting in September, two common commuter bus routes are switching transit agencies: from Cobb County Transit (CCT) and Gwinnett County Transit (GCT) to Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA). 

The change will affect some customers who purchase transit passes through payroll deduction. Routes affected include: 

  • Cobb County Transit Route 481 from Town Center to Midtown.
  • Gwinnett County Transit Route 412 from Sugarloaf Mills to Midtown.

Both routes are switching to GRTA beginning Sept. 6. Customers using either of those routes will now need to purchase GRTA passes rather than CCT or GCT passes. All changes to payroll deduction purchases must be made in Techworks by Aug. 4 in order to take effect for September passes. 

Questions can be referred to the payroll department in the Office of Human Resources at 404-894-4614.

Other routes are also undergoing changes beginning Sept. 6. For a complete list of changes and to see how they may affect your commute, visit xpressga.com/2016servicechanges
